Sara sara saravedi azhagula
Vedicha ne vedicha vedicha
Sirukkura siripula
Manasayum madichen
Sara sara saravedi kanavula
Vedicha ne vedicha vedicha
Nenaikura nenappula
Vayasayum odacha
Pottakaadum poo pookka
Nee nerukkadi nerukkadi kodukura
Sattapoovum thaenoora
Sandhosam thaara…
Pattaampoochi thaanaaga
Nee adikkadi adikkadi rasikkura
Vettu paara paaloora
Kondaada vaara…aaaa….

With beauty like a chain of firecrackers,
You burst forth, you burst and burst!
With that cheeky little smile,
I folded up my heart for you!
In dreams like a chain of firecrackers,
You burst forth, you burst and burst!
With every thought in your head,
You shattered my youth!
Making even the barren lands bloom with flowers,
You crowd in close and corner me!
Making the flower on my shirt sweet with honey,
You bring such joy...
Just like a free butterfly,
You admire and adore me again and again!
Making milk spring from solid rock,
You come to celebrate... ahhh...
Like someone who lost a bangle,
Chorus: Hey hey hey hey
Male: You pout your lips and walk away
Chorus: Hey hey hey hey
Like grinding chutney on a stone,
Chorus: Hey hey hey hey
Female: You wrench the very life out of me!
Chorus: Hey hey hey hey
Goli goli goli goli
Goli goli goli goli goli goli
Goli goli goli goli
Goli goli goli goli goli goli
Oh, in dreams like a chain of firecrackers,
You burst forth, you burst and burst!
With every thought in your head,
You shattered my youth!
O forest of thorny trees,
O nest where parrots dwell,
I have held this desire in my heart for so long,
Beyond that, I have nothing more to say!
You are like the cool breeze
that blows in the evening...
When I stare deep into your eyes,
you break into a sweat!
We need to go a long, long way,
hey, with our hands held tight together!
With beauty like a chain of firecrackers,
You burst forth, you burst and burst!
With that cheeky little smile,
I folded up my heart for you!
Folded it, folded it...
The fresh scent of rain,
that is true love itself!
The smell of wet mud in the fields became my desire,
The aroma of dried-fish curry became our love!
I am not a dry haystack,
I am a lush banana grove!
When you come close,
there is no safety at all!
When we come together,
let there be no distance between us, no gap, no gap!
In dreams like a chain of firecrackers,
You burst forth, you burst and burst!
With every thought in your head,
You shattered my youth!
With beauty like a chain of firecrackers,
You burst forth, you burst and burst!
Female: With every thought in your head,
Ha ha ha aaha...
Making even the barren lands bloom with flowers,
You crowd in close and corner me!
Making the flower on my shirt sweet with honey,
You bring such joy...
Just like a free butterfly,
You admire and adore me again and again!
Making milk spring from solid rock,
You come to celebrate...
Like someone who lost a bangle,
You pout your lips at me and walk away
Female: Like grinding chutney on a stone,
You wrench the very life out of me!
